Dear well wishers

Wishing you & your family a Happy New Year 2020.

During the calendar year 2019 we continued our mission of Empowering rural economically challenged youth by providing Support for their Higher Education and Skill development through our flagship Nurture Merit Program. We also had programs made for high school children. The initiative to Nurture the Non-academic talent in selected fields is gaining momentum.

Nurture Merit Program is a well-designed, structured and focused program to support bright students coming from economically challenged families to continue their post 10th education to enable them to be graduate and thus relating a meaningful employment or self-employment.

In 2019, a total amount of INR 91.5 lakhs was disbursed as financial assistance to 1295 students.

  • 65% of the beneficiaries were girls
  • 91% of students supported are from rural regions of 9 districts of Karnataka

  • 5000 rural youths made use of the 5 Libraries/Knowledge resource centers located at Hubli, Bijapur, Belgaum, Sirsi & Davangere
  • During this year 309 students will be completing their Graduation degree and will start their career.
